The Chess Tactics Detection Workbook

In this workbook, Volker Schleputz and Grandmaster John Emms offer a unique framework to practice chess tactics independent of themes, difficulty and - most crucially - even the definite existence of an actual tactic in a given position.

Analysing carefully selected games, from beginner through to club and tournament level, the reader assumes the role of a tactics detective, searching for mistakes and missed opportunities by both sides without the help of a chess engine.
